Well I know achievements don't really do anything and are just fun to get to see the little notification at the bottom of the screen. But I am noticing more and more games are coming out with ridicules hard to get online achievements. Do you think this is a good idea? Not to mention all the 360 owners that don't have XBL
I know the feeling. Some of the achievements online are so time consuming however, its a great selling tool for game makers and MS because it gets people online and spending more money.
Oh heck yes! I spent my whole 2006 summer wasting my life trying to get achievements. And i must say its a disease since i got fat and had to buy a new 360 cuz i played my old one 24 hrs. But i love achievements, hearing it watching it pop up, its just all so priceless!
Gears for example 100 kills for each gun makes people keep comming back like me :)

Those kept me coming back but there are some like GRAW 1 that are almost impossible. I know, does anyone remember that achievement in Quake"Reach the top ten on the all time leader boards" WTF!

I made a thread on this a little while ago, and 2/3 agreed with me that online/offline should be at least 500/500 or 600 for offline. Single player is the most important thing IMO. But oh well, if the game is good I'll buy it :)
 I'm just not a big Live fan myself. I hate getting owned almost every single time, although I can beat the game on hard. I HATE it!
I enjoy online achievement points, but if there to hard or very time comsuming i won't do them.
For example, getting the General Achievement in Call of Duty 3. That achievement is very time comsuming, and i just lose interest after getting the Captin Achievement.
I am a huge fan of achievements but I really dont like most of the online achievements. Mainly because some people get so rediculously good, it is near impossible to get some of them and I really only like to play games online with my friends and most of them don't have all of the games I do so I wont get a lot of the online achievements which hurts my overall achievement percentage. I think they should just have single player achievements and leave it at that.
I don't mind online achievements so much as I do co-op achievements. Mostly because my friends don't have some of the games I have like Crackdown and nobody will ever let me join there game... so yea they could do without co-op achievements IMO.....drummer13us
whenever i play crackdown alot of ppl wanna join my game and i accept most
actually in some parts of my brain I keep thinking that they should just put all achievements online since you only show it off online anyway right? but if they leave the single player some people might not play it so everything should stay the same just make a more reachable achievement
"I don't mind online achievements so much as I do co-op achievements. Mostly because my friends don't have some of the games I have like Crackdown and nobody will ever let me join there game... so yea they could do without co-op achievements IMO......" same here, I hate it though
i like challenging achevements but i dont like ones like 10000 kills or like 10000 wins or like in Rainbow Six Vegas there is one to create your face on and if you dont have a live camara you cant do it
I like it, makes no difference to me online or offline. It's good in that you can see just how experienced someone is in the game by looking at their achievements.Â

Um I think you will find playing them in real life is the only good test .... i have loads of acheivement points and I still suck online LOL
I find that online achievements ruin the online experience a lot of times. People spend more time trying to get useless achievements then actually playing for fun/to win. How many times have you joined a match in Gears and heard someone say something like "If you touch the grenades I'm quitting because I'm trying to get the achievement. I don't care if we win". How many times have you heard someone say "I can't wait to I am done with this  because I don't even like the game".
75% offline, 25% online. Not everybody has online. An even better implementation of achievements would be ones that could be got both onlin or offline. Or possibly the player could choose if he/she is more of an online/offline player and the game could set achievements according to the players play style.
i like them, but some of them are too hard. people always take this kinda stuff too serious and cheat for them anyway. i kinda like the gears set up for achievements, but im not gonna go out of my way to get them, i'll eventually get them all by just playing for a while.
[QUOTE="death1505921"]Nope, or if they have to, it should be 800 single player/200 online. Max. Or possibly 250 online.HungryTanner
I agreeÂ
That makes 3. Between 200-250 on-line should be max. Achievements can be hard, but they have to be interesting. There isn't anything fun about trying to play an honest game with people that ruin it just because they are so achievement focused it brings down the gameplay and overall experience. Some are really fun to chase, but there are some that truly are achievements I'll never go for because they are more work than fun and I value the gametime I have too much. It would be a different story for some if I had more time.
I actually haven't played any games on-line for at least a month because of the community and just trying to exploit everything.
i personnally dont think there should be online ones because, wat about the people that dont have online. They then dont have a big gamer score and look like idiots also then again it does pull a fair bit of money for microsoft i guess thats trew.

You make a good point, but then again achievements are worth literally nothing. But If for some reason somebody wants more of them ,that doesn't have XBL, I guess it would be unfair that they don't have the same achievement unlocking opportunities.

It only matters if you care about points or if you don't have online play.
